Uptown Underground

The Under Years

A Prohibition-Era Lounge Seizes Uptown

In 2015, you’ll be able to rip through the notoriously hard-to-rip-through fabric of time and venture to a
place called Uptown Underground.

That?

That’s a new ’20s-style basement lounge and event space that’s both located in a historic Broadway
building and fraught with late-night-debauching potential. It opens on New Year’s Eve.

So, this space. It’s... seen some things. Formerly home to one of Al Capone’s speakeasies, it was
connected via an illicit underground tunnel to the Green Mill. Then it was a reggae club. But now, it’s a
speakeasy again. Told you.

Your move: descend the club’s grand staircase. Survey the land. Don’t say something like “I have no
idea what to expect down here.” Because you’ll already know. Because here’s what you can expect down
there:

—Moonshine, absinthe and a bunch of classic cocktails. Many of which incorporate FEW Spirits, a distiller
from the birthplace of the Temperance Movement.
